$50 for Your News Niche Idea!

Hey Tiff,
Great idea, I'll see what I can find today. You are the master of coming up with good ideas!!

Home Safes! Amazing!

1.) The Wii Is Still Sold Out - CNET NEWS - Topic discussed the non availability of Wii's online and off including the few that could be found that were expensive bundles like a $500 bundle from Game Stop.

Note - from the article I would forecast this Christmas hot seller to be in local papers at some point re: being sold out

2.) Searches 16 million plus for Wii - a few other smaller (4,000 TO 18,000) but respectable numbers for terms like - wii available - where can I buy a wii - cheap wii - preorder wii

3.) Available at Amazon - 150 new and used currently - games etc also available.

Hi Tiff - here's my idea (you're right - this is a GREAT niche research exercise plus FUN)

1.) Where you saw the news idea - what the article or topic was about.

Topic: Songs Of Joy And Peace -
News: ABC News, Good Morning America

As I watched Yo-Yo Ma explain that to create his new CD album, (to be released tomorrow) he invited his friends to join him by bringing songs of joy, I was inspired. So many people need joy right now.

Anyway, then he and James Taylor shared one of the album's songs this morning, Here Comes The Sun. It's online on a video if you go to GMA. As a baby boomer, I remember the song so well and as they played it this morning - joy.

With all the news about our economic "crisis" etc. this song is exactly how I feel. I lost money last week. Who didn't? But here comes the sun.

No one has to loose their hope. I was so refreshed and inspired when I listened to Yo-yo Ma and James Taylor that I just want to thank you for giving me this exercise to do this morning.

2.) What the search counts show (using the one broad keyword)

Not sure about this but I googled the keyword phrase yo-yo ma and got this: Results 1 - 10 of about 1,680,000 for "Yo-yo ma"

3.) Tangibles on Amazon - yes or no?

yes - just search Amazon "music" for "songs of joy and peace yo yo ma"

Well, that's it. Thanks for the exercise this morning - I needed that

Good idea, but why would I give away money making idea's for 50 bucks?

Best rapper alive?

Eminem wins Vibe magazine's Best Rapper Alive contest, sparking a heated debate.

From Yahoo News

Google Adwords Searches: Eminem ~ 2,240,000 ~ 150 other eminem keywords with plenty of searches

Tons of tangible products on ebay.

Fun experiment, glad I remembered to go do it!!

The stock market had it's biggest gain ever today so how about money clips?

But in the recent Depression 2.0 climate, I'd suggest ways to store food at home, like food dehydrators or vacuum sealers.

1.) Where you saw the news idea - what the article or topic was about.
Fashion-minded bicyclists - article in St. Paul Pioneer Press, Sunday 10/12/08

2.) What the search counts show (using the one broad keyword)
Search for bicycle accessories = 33,100

3.) Tangibles on Amazon - yes or no? ABSOLUTELY! Many!

Great ideas!

Sorry if some thought it shouldn't be shared. You always have the option to not compete for the $50. I shared my idea - but my way of thinking is this is stuff to just make a bit of money on, not like it's going to be what I build my online business out of (ie: wall safes).

I mainly wanted to help people exercise their ability to use the news to find a little niche they could use to build a lens or Hub Page on and see some earnings from it.

Now if I had a brand new idea for some massive money stream - THAT I would hold close to my mind

PS - lol Roger.

Hi Tiff,

Here ya go:

1.) Where you saw the news idea - what the article or topic was about.
New York Daily News: Players from the Red Sox baseball
team have started a phenomenon wearing 'Phiten Necklace' accessories. These necklaces are made of titanium and supposed to relieve pain, stress and enhance circulation.

It appears to be all the rage and even some celebrities (David Hasselhoff)
outside of the sporting arena have begun to wear these as well.

2.) What the search counts show (using the one broad keyword)
Daily search counts of wordtracker for the term 'Phiten' receives 191
searches per Wordtracker and 239 daily Google estimate


3.) Tangibles on Amazon - yes or no?

Yes they are on sell at amazon.com

Mojo

Great Stimulator for "searching" for niches.

1. "Illuminated Bible: The Book" an upcoming edition of the Bible due to hit the market later this month. Saw this in the Sunday edition of the La Crosse Tlribune newspaper.

2. 159,000 searches on the keyword phrase that I typed above. Narrow niche..I love it.

3. Is preselling on Amazon, and other affiliate book sales sites.

I am currently doing a lense now on this new edition.

Thanks for the exercise Tiff!

Wow! This is so neat to see what all you guys are coming up with! Stuff I would have passed over myself - so now I'm learning to look at all news stories that may not be as blunt as mine and see how they could turn into an Amazon niche product lens.
Tiff

Tiff never mentioned how many entries allowed...

So here's an oldie but a goodie...

At any one time, each plant has 500,000 individual titles for sale online at sites including, among others, Amazon.com, Half.com and eBay.com.

cheap used books 9,900... All kinds of profitable keywords, some low competition available to use in multiple ways!

Tiff,

Just for your info, a warrior a little while back took Google news and turned it into a PLR type idea...

Unfortunately, it had a short life But I bet there are many other Smart warriors out there including yourself that can see many other ideas & possibilities re-workable by using Google news and other news related sources & spinning it into a real $$$ money maker...

Here's the link to that warrior's idea for your info...
